Paperback. Etat : Fair. The rare work of fiction that has changed real life . . . If you don't yet know Molly Bolt--or Rita Mae Brown, who created her--I urge you to read and thank them both.--Gloria Steinem Winner of the Lambda Literary Pioneer Award Winner of the Lee Lynch Classic Book Award A landmark coming-of-age novel that launched the career of one of this country's most distinctive voices, Rubyfruit Jungle remains a transformative work more than forty years after its original publication. In bawdy, moving prose, Rita Mae Brown tells the story of Molly Bolt, the adoptive daughter of a dirt-poor Southern couple who boldly forges her own path in America. With her startling beauty and crackling wit, Molly finds that women are drawn to her wherever she goes--and she refuses to apologize for loving them back. This literary milestone continues to resonate with its message about being true to yourself and, against the odds, living happily ever after. Praise for Rubyfruit Jungle Groundbreaking.--The New York Times Powerful . . . a truly incredible book . . . I found myself laughing hysterically, then sobbing uncontrollably just moments later.--The Boston Globe You can't fully know--or enjoy--how much the world has changed without reading this truly wonderful book.--Andrew Tobias, author of The Best Little Boy in the World A crass and hilarious slice of growing up 'different, ' as fun to read today as it was in 1973.--The Rumpus Molly Bolt is a genuine descendant--genuine female descendant--of Huckleberry Finn. And Rita Mae Brown is, like Mark Twain, a serious writer who gets her messages across through laughter.--Donna E. Shalala A trailblazing literary coup at publication . . . It was the right book at the right time.--Lee Lynch, author of Beggar of Love. N° de réf. du vendeur 00107233261

Etat : Very good minus. First printing. Inscribed first edition of Brown's famed autobiographical coming-of age novel, a landmark work of LGBTQ literature - from the library of cultural critic Jill Johnston, whose blurb appears on the rear wrapper. Described by Eileen Myles as "the quintessential dyke coming-of-age-novel," Rita Mae Brown's frank, hilarious, and occasionally obscene first novel was groundbreaking for its explicit portrayal of lesbianism. A bestseller in its day, this copy is inscribed by Brown to fellow prominent feminist radical lesbian writer Jill Johnston who (along with Gloria Steinem) provides a blurb for the novel on its rear wrapper. The true first is increasingly uncommon, and scarce signed. An incredible association between two important figures of the Feminist and LGBTQ rights movements. 8.25'' x 5.25''. Original color pictorial wrappers. [6], 218 pages. Inscribed by Brown in pencil on half title: "Best of / luck to A / sweet kid, / Love Always, / Rita Mae / ("Rubyfruit") Brown." From the library of feminist author and cultural critic Jill Johnston, with her ink stamp ("'Write first, then live.' J.J.") to half title page. Previous owner note regarding provenance laid in. Moderately edgeworn, small chip to corner of front wrapper, faint dampstain to top edge of front wrapper. Foxing to textblock edges and to margins of first few leaves. Else sound. Signed.
